Somebody tell me please how to handle Lamb chops .. over the weekend , I tried 4 different methods and still got more or less the same response from husband " nai , abi bi rubber hi bun giya hai " 
I think , I am not doing something right maybe .. one time , I checked it in the oven and it seemed so soft and juicy so I take it out and in less then 3 seconds it turns rubber!
What is it that I am doing wrong? over cooking them? too high the heat? too low the heat?
Re: Lamb Chop issues
I make mine in the pressure cooker and they turn out fine, never tried making chops in the oven yet.
Try cooking the chops first. Marinate with spices and yoghurt. Cook with lil water and when its done. Fry on both sides for 5 mins.
Re: Lamb Chop issues
I also cook in Pressure cooker. I marinate it in yogurt and spices, keep it for an hour and then cook for 10-15 mins in cooker. Its always soft n juicy
Re: Lamb Chop issues
ok , so this cooking in the pressure cooker thing, how much water do you add ? and then when you fry it does it remain spicy enough? and give the grilled taste?
Do you add any oil to this ?
Re: Lamb Chop issues
if you are making them in the oven, roast the entire rack as one piece, and slice before serving. if you really do want to “cook” individual ribs, stove-top is best. and you have to be quick, they cook in no time - like 3 mins on the first side, 2 mins on the other.
Re: Lamb Chop issues
Well i put oil in marination not more than 1/4 cup and i dont fry it afterwards just adjust the masala which is basically not that much as i put yogurt only to suffice it to become juicy
Re: Lamb Chop issues
In Pakistan i used to give it 5-7 mins but here meat usually does not get tender before 10-12 mins so if ur meat is real good only give 5 mins
Re: Lamb Chop issues
Thanks guys , going to try out the stove method and the pressure cooker one as well ..
Re: Lamb Chop issues
I marinate with salt,garaam masala and tandoori masala. I then place in the oven for 3 hours on around 150 -160 degrees. I have an fan assisted electric oven. They meat will be falling off the bone and will not be chewy. For an even better taste cook for four hours on around 120. I don’t add yoghourt to my recipe. I know it seems like a long time but if you have guests it’s fine as you can be busy doing the other stuff!
Re: Lamb Chop issues
I’ve only made goat chops before and they only require about 30 mins of cook time on stove top.
Lamb is gamey, perhaps try a natural tenderizer in the marinade like papaya, or kiwi. I recently learned about kiwi and i think it’s going to change my life lol since it’s readily available.
Re: Lamb Chop issues
With individual chops it’s best to pan fry. If you cook too long, they become hard and rubbery. At first the heat should be high so it seals in the juices. Then lower and cooks 3-4 mins each side.
The marinade shouldn’t be too fancy. With meats, the more flavorings you add, the more you take away from the taste of the meat itself.
